Dream milk recipe

This soothing dairy-free rose milk is a perfect lullaby tonic. Oat milk contains tryptophan – a sleep supporting amino acid and they’ve got a bit of protein in them which can keep you feeling full and prevent any after dinner snacking. Simply blend the milk together with calming rose water and a little pinch of warming spices for a dreamy bedtime drink.

What you need

• 1 dessert spoon of natural rose water (I love Marigold brand)

• 150ml oat milk (I love Oatly Barista brand for ultimate froth)

• 1 cardamom pod or ¼ teaspoon of pre-ground cardamom

• ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon

• ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg

• Electric milk frother, or saucepan

How to make

• Crush your spices together until quite fine, or mix together your pre ground versions

• Add oat milk, blended spices and rose water to your frother and blend until hot and frothy. If you are using a saucepan – add the oat milk, rose water and spices all together and heat over a low heat while stirring. Serve once heated and bubbly.

• Pour into your mug and sprinkle a little extra nutmeg on top

Cinnamon is naturally sweet, but if you need a bit more sweetness, add a ¼ teaspoon of maple syrup, agave or stevia to taste. You can also add little more cardamom and nutmeg if you like more spice.
